Spinach-Cheese Swirls


This recipe is in fact on the back of a "Pastry Puff" box.


I grated some pepper jack cheese. I thought this might spice it up a bit. 


I added some green onion and parmesan cheese to the pepper jack cheese. 


I poured the cheese mixture and frozen (we'll get to that later) spinach on top of the dough.


So bad call recipe on frozen spinach. It made the roll too soggy. I thought of you and I knew you probably would have insisted on fresh spinach from the get go anyway. The "jelly roll" was so mushy I literally couldn't cut it. It all just fell apart. Bastard. 


So this is a pretty jelly roll with fresh spinach instead of frozen.


This is how many different knifes I tried when desperately trying to cut my first jelly roll. I know, you're wondering why I'm referring to it as a jelly roll when there is no jelly in it? It's just what the recipe calls it..


Viola!
